To be fair, TJP is too old to be doing it.

Oh what? I thought it was Zack Sabre vs TJP in the final, guess not. Not gonna lie tho, Metalik v TJP sounds more appealing than Zack v TJP.
Dont get me wrong this Zack Sabre v Metalik match was great as was Zack's work during the tournament, but I dont really need 2 submission guys in the final.

Elimination Chamber is a Smackdown PPV. So that's how AJ can drop the belt and face Taker at Mania.
Tanahashi is in that video too, so hopefully there's more than just an Okada costume.
Between confirming my homie Kuma is in the game, and this NJPW collab it's truly a banner day for fans of simulated violence and kideo games!
EDIT: Holding out hope for Paul Phoenix in a Bullet Club shirt
He isn't sign with anyone right, he just does what he wants to. And NJPW is doing pretty good right.
He's been out of NJPW pretty much all year, guy's doing independent stuff all year, but showing up in DDT often. His WWE stuff is all one-off deals.

Ellsworth is going to have a chamber isn't he.

I think so. Ellsworth, AJ, Dean, Corbin, maaaaybe Dolph or maybe some other NXT call up (Nak?) or potentially returning Cena (though he won't take the belt - the record breaking win needs to mean something for him, a proper chase) and then Undertaker. Taker something something AJ shenanigans and violence and broken glass and then, boom, there's your Mania match.
Yeah!
No!
Seriously, though, it just keeps getting worse with these cabinet picks, etc. I pray to baby J that people have had enough in four years (or two, but yeah right). But we're all a bunch of know-nothing Bluekavelis, so who knows what'll happen?

Casiello, the head writer just got fired, and meltz hinted it was for pushing for the women's hiac to be last and the match not living up to the billing (vince can't blame hunter of course).
The ironic thing is the Ironwoman match really should go last, but vince finally managed to get reigns back in the championship picture so we all know what the main event will be.
See? I told you we're a bunch of know-nothings.

Ric Flair should be inducted for the Black Scorpion gimmick.

Charlotte already eyeing the belt. She rolled Ric up five seconds after this.

There's only one wall I approve of, brother.
Avengers.
Don't do this man, don't throw away our friendship like this.
I assume you mean this in the Meltzer overrated = overpushed relative to talent because there are precious few of us out there who do rate Thatcher.
That could be fun. I know very little about AWA.

He's been exposed, and Gabe is trying to salvage it instead of moving on. So yeah, overpushed possibly because he's overrated by the booker man.

That's a good looking card, and I would be surprised if the final card is much different from this.
Is Bobby Fish booked elsewhere that day, or are we sticking him in the RAMBO?
I'm assuming the Roppongi Vice break-up happens after Wrestle Kingdom.
So after the RAW after Vengeance, I skipped ahead to Royal Rumble '02. Apparently Mr. Perfect [insert sexual abuse gif] is coming back in the Rumble. Two other things:
- Watched Jazz vs. Trish. Impossible to enjoy mostly due to Jerry Lawler. Every ten seconds it's something sexual. It's just oooverkill.
- Now I have to decide: do I want to watch this Flair/McMahon street fight? Hmmm...
I guess I'll just watch Army/Navy for now.

It's an ok street fight, and at least the idea of Flair selling for Vince isn't as crazy as selling for Bischoff.
Rock/Jericho is really good, though.
Edit: this rumble also completely kills the idea that wrasslers come out in 90 second or 2 minute intervals.

Seasonal depression is a thing, friend. Don't underestimate it and get rolled up.
This might cheer you up a bit: go find the Dragon Gate Fantastic Gate 2016 Night 1 ten man tag, CIMA, Dragon Kid, Gamma, Don Fujii & Masaaki Mochizuki stiffing the shit out of their newest class of rookies: Ben-K, Hyo Watanabe, Katsumi Takashima, Shun Skywalker & Yuki Yoshioka. It's the closest a Dragon Gate match ever gets to a shoot.
I suppose I'll concede that your 400+ day champion should probably be able to cut a promo.
CIMA legit kicks one of the kids in the eye. Like, straight up, you can see it all welted when he comes back out during Doi Darts.
Mochizuki's execution kick into shin over the face pin is one of the coolest wrestling things I've seen as well, I need to gif it.

Omega said that Cody would be key to BC's international takeover or something so I see him replacing Cole as the US leader next year.
Regarding the WK11 booking, supposedly Juice Robinson challenged Cody to a match there so that should be an easy transition to the New Japan style. Or maybe they'll do it at the New Year's Dash show the next night.

The biggest struggle for me when watching Ruthless Aggression era stuff is the blood and rampant sexism. During SS 2005 when HHH is facing Flair and within 5 minutes Flair is covered, it's just too much. It didn't make me sick or anything but it added no value to the overall match.
